[smokeping-users] question about 'someloss' alerts..

[B. Cook]

Hello,

I've just added smokeping to a network that currently has 3 of it's 
circuits (T1's) down.

and I am continually bombarded with someloss alerts; But I think the 
confusion is about how I am understanding the pattern for the alert.

Pattern
-------
 > >0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%

Data (old --> now)
------------------
loss: 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 
100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 
100%, 100%, 100%, 100%
rtt: U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, 
U, U, U, U, U

I am wondering if there is a better alert that i could make that would 
indicate the obvious that the circuit was never up (yet) and that it is 
still down.

I guess I am wondering why the alert is called 'someloss' when there 
actually is a total loss..

I was wondering if someone else had an alert for 'totalloss' or 
something better than someloss for this type of an alert/pattern.
